Handwriting Winners Summer 1

A huge well done to our handwriting winners this half term. I am so impressed with the standard of writing which is now proudly on display outside Mrs Parker's room. 

Please have a look at some of their incredible work. I hope you enjoy using using your new handwriting pencil. 


Friday Awards

Congratulations to the children who have been awarded Head Teachers', Vocabulary Ninja, Handwriting certificates and Good to Be Green Pencils this week. Well done to all Year 3 children for their hard work this half term. Have a lovely break!


Science challenge- what is this?

Can you guess what is in the picture this time? 

Can you describe the colour, texture and shapes that you can see? Does it remind you of anything?

If you think you know the answer write it down with your name and give it to Miss Harvey. 


Explorify...

Well done to those who guessed correctly today- it was a starfish!

Did you know that a starfish is not actually a fish and it cannot swim? It is an echinoderm which uses its suckers to crawl across the ocean floor. 


Sewing in Year 3

Year 3 children have been designing jubilee squares. They used their designs and cut material out of fabric, they then learnt to sew and created their own special jubilee memories.This skill of sewing was used during WW2 especially when there was rationing of clothing.

 


Book Look

Thank you for parents and carers who attended our book look. It was very successful and really nice to see faces in school again. 


Jubilee Draw A Long Session

Year 3 children really enjoyed a draw a long session with an author and illustrator Steve Antony. Steve shared his book The Qeen's Hat and showed us how to draw different characters from the book. The children drew fantastic picures of the Queen, her dog and the cheeky swan that stole her bag. 


Jubilee themed Art and Computing

Year 3 enjoyed wearing a crown and pretending to be a Queen or King.

We uploaded the photos and children learnt to edit them, did they make themselves look like the lived in 1952? Could they be a future Queen or King?

Editing photos is regularly done in 2022, we discussed how images can be easilly altered. We also ensured that we had permission before editing anyone else's photos.

This half term in science, Year 3 children have been learning about forces and magnets. The children really enjoyed conducting experiments with magnets. They learnt about magnetic field, sorted objects into magnetic and non-magnetic and tested strength of different magnets.
